christmas break!!!

First I'm going to finish Christmas shopping for my family. My brother and I are going to get picked up by my dad and go visit him in Washington for a couple days. My dad said its really cold there and there is a lot of snow to. When I get back home I'll be excited to open presents and give my presents to whom I got them for. There's a new years eve rodeo in Albany every year and my brother is riding bulls there. So hopefully he keeps winning and being a confident man like he is.

Indian reservations are areas of land given to Native American tribes by the United states Government. In the 1850-60s, the government decided to move Indians to land that was unwanted by settlers. Many of the tribes did not want to move to new lands and refused. Soon the government sent in the U.S. Army force them to move to the new reservation lands. This caused many bloody wars between the Indians and the U.S. Army. Eventually, most Indians did move to the reservations. Today, reservations are run by their own tribal council, and less than half of Indians live on the reservations. Many of the Indians who live off the reservations live in large Western cities, like Phoenix and Los Angeles.

christmas traditions.

If I would create a new Christmas tradition it would probably be The whole family would wake up on Christmas morning. Sit on the living room floor and give each other our presents we bought them. All take showers and go out to a big breakfast with Grandma. Then go to my Uncle's houses and open there presents they bought us. And last but not least go home and hangout with some friends.



A family tradition I would eliminate would be all of the Christmas music because them radio and television play them before Christmas,during Christmas, and after.

Favorite and least favorite!

My favorite part of the book so far is when Junior and Penelope figured out that they were going to raise money for the homeless. On Halloween Junior went to the res to see if he can earn some money. He did, but a few boys came up and beat him up and took all the money. He felt horrible. All he could think about is what he is going to tell Penelope when he gets to school tomorrow. The worst part of the book I think is when his sister moves away writes letters twenty four seven. Talking bad about her life is even though she didn't like it back on the res either. I think she is inconsiderate of her brother.

Best book!!

The best book I think I've read in this class so far is Heartland. I love horses and its about saving horses that have been neglected, abused, and in some way mentally too. The owners of Heartland are Amy and her sister Lou. Their mother died. Its a very heart warming and comforting book so far.

For my birthday!

My birthday is on December sixth. When its any of our birthday's we go to my grandmas and have a fabulous dinner. She makes this delicious sweet and sour spare ribs, green beans and chopped bacon, baked potato and all the ingredients, garden or Cesar salad, cottage cheese and pineapple, and last but not least Oreo chocolate cake and vanilla bean ice cream. I usually get money for my birthday so I can do whatever I want with it. Most of its going to go to my family's Christmas presents, and a tanning package.
